The food was absolutely delicious, with the creamiest pastas and delicious chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I did find the restaurant too loud, especially because it is quite small. Overall a great place!

The food was delicious and the service was great. I took a gamble on the mushroom tacos and they paid off.

The food at Lilli Restaurant was AMAZING!!! My entire party enjoyed their food from the starters to the entrées. We were next to the DJ booth and didn’t have to yell to hear each other. The music was great and the ambiance of the restaurant is so good. Customer service was a 10/10, they constantly checked on us to make sure everything was good. They had a photographer coming around taking photos and we actually purchased one of the photos because they did an amazing job. Will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful 13th anniversary dinner last night at Modern Love. Everything was perfect, the food especially was fabulous as always, and service was also excellent. Such a comforting vegan oasis, we are so lucky to have Modern Love for all of our celebrations!
